A commission being directed for taking the oath of a stranger residing in Holland, the report was questioned upon that pretence, that the stranger's deposition was not subscribed, albeit the commission did bear, that he should subscribe the same; and yet it was sustained, because of the custom of Holland, that the judges only subscribe, and the same was subscribed by them; and it was adminiculated with a letter from him, bearing that he had declared before the commissioners, and that he would adhere to what he had declared.
Clerk, Gibson.
